The council, with offices in Mayfair and Hertfordshire, is intended as a vehicle for the promotion of bilateral trade between the UK and Cyprus, the development of joint partnerships in a variety of fields, as well as inward investment to the island. The council will also support cultural initiatives aimed at enhancing co-operation and economic development between the UK and Cyprus as well as philanthropic causes linked to its entrepreneurial activities. “The UK is home to a significant number of highly successful and prominent British Cypriot entrepreneurs and professional people of the highest calibre,” said Peter Droussiotis, chairman of the council’s board of directors.

“These people are keen to help strengthen ties between the UK and Cyprus at every level and to work with the Cypriot and UK authorities and other UK and Cyprus-based partner organisations in order to promote the development of bilateral trade, enterprise and investment co-operation between these two historically close countries.” He added that the council “has been set up in order to leverage the entrepreneurial talent of the British Cypriot community in the interests of mutually beneficial co-operation between the UK and Cyprus.”
